I started going to Paris in ‘98, when my sister moved over. (She initially moved for a year – it’s now nine years later, she now has a husband and two kids and has only ever been back in Ireland on holiday). I’ve just fallen for the place : the city itself is beautiful, I love the atmosphere and the attitude around the place and – despite what some would have you believe – I’ve always found the people friendly, helpful and welcoming. The weather is also a big plus : it can get hot and sunny there, while it’s usually only cold, rainy and windy here.
I’ve had enough of having to come home. I’ve sent off a couple of jobs applications for jobs…I just can’t seem to convince myself I stand a real chance of getting there permanently though.
